Core Viewpoint - The corn starch market is experiencing low prices due to a combination of high inventory levels and reduced demand, with expectations of short-term price fluctuations followed by a long-term decline as raw material prices weaken [2][3][5]. Supply and Demand Analysis - Corn prices are at a five-year low, with the national standard second-grade corn price at 2300 RMB/ton, down 70 RMB/ton year-on-year, a decrease of approximately 2.95% [2]. - Corn starch prices are also at a five-year low, with the Shandong national standard first-grade corn starch price at 2890 RMB/ton, down 50 RMB/ton year-on-year, a decrease of about 1.70% [2]. - Domestic corn starch inventory increased by 8.47 million tons in the first seven months of the year, while production decreased by 830,400 tons, leading to a net supply increase of 7.68 million tons [3]. - Major corn starch enterprises have seen a decrease in delivery volume by 809,400 tons year-on-year, indicating lower consumption compared to previous years [3]. Consumption Trends - The summer season typically sees high consumption of starch sugar, with a year-on-year increase in corn starch consumption for starch sugar of 39,000 tons, totaling 1.95 million tons in the first seven months [4]. - The paper industry has maintained a higher operating rate, with corrugated paper and boxboard paper operating rates at 59.83% and 63.55%, respectively, both showing year-on-year increases [4]. - The price advantage of cassava starch is impacting corn starch consumption, as the price gap has narrowed to the lowest level in five years [4]. Future Outlook - As the peak stocking season approaches, there is an expectation of marginal improvement in demand, which may lead to a stronger price performance within a certain range [5]. - However, the long-term outlook remains bearish due to anticipated abundant corn production, which is expected to weaken prices [5].

Group 1: CPI Analysis - The core CPI, excluding food and energy prices, increased by 0.8% year-on-year, marking the highest growth since March 2024, with a 0.1 percentage point increase from the previous month [2] - In July, the CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, reversing a 0.1% decline from the previous month, primarily driven by increases in service and industrial consumer goods prices [4] - The decrease in food prices, particularly fresh vegetables and fruits, significantly impacted the CPI, with fresh vegetable prices down 7.6% year-on-year and fruit prices up 2.8% [1][4] Group 2: PPI Analysis - The PPI fell by 0.2% month-on-month in July, but the decline was less than the previous month, marking the first narrowing of the month-on-month decline since March [6] - Seasonal factors and uncertainties in the international trade environment contributed to price decreases in several industries, including non-metallic mineral products and coal mining [6][7] - The competitive market environment in industries such as coal, steel, and photovoltaic manufacturing has led to a reduction in price declines compared to the previous month [7] Group 3: Future Price Trends - The National Bureau of Statistics anticipates a moderate recovery in prices in the second half of the year, supported by stable economic performance, effective demand expansion policies, and reduced low-price competition among enterprises [7]

1. Report Information - Report Title: PTA Daily Report [1] - Date: August 7, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [4] 2. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Futures Market Quotes**: On the 6th, the closing price of the PTA main futures contract TA2509 was 4,724 yuan/ton, up 46 yuan/ton (0.98%), with a settlement price of 4,702 yuan/ton and a daily reduction of 47,883 lots. The closing price of TA2601 was 4,754 yuan/ton, up 40 yuan/ton, with a trading volume of 275,150 lots, an increase of 47,001 lots [6]. - **Market Outlook**: Although the spot supply of PTA is sufficient, the crude oil market rebounded during the session, and there may be unplanned PTA plant maintenance under low processing fees. It is expected that the PTA market will rise slightly [6]. 3. Industry News - **Crude Oil**: The market focused on the production - cut plan of OPEC and its allies and downplayed the threat of US sanctions on oil buyers from a certain European country. European and American crude oil futures fell for four consecutive trading days. On August 5th, the settlement price of WTI crude oil futures for September 2025 on the New York Mercantile Exchange was $65.16 per barrel, down $1.13 (1.70%); the settlement price of Brent crude oil futures for October 2025 on the London Intercontinental Exchange was $67.64 per barrel, down $1.12 (1.63%) [7]. - **PX Market**: The price of the PX market in China was estimated at $843 - 845 per ton, up $5 per ton from the previous trading day; the price in the South Korean market was estimated at $823 - 825 per ton, also up $5 per ton. The cost - side oil price continued to run strongly. The domestic PX supply level was low, the demand side was performing well, and the buying enthusiasm in the market recovered. Two transactions were heard during the day, with any September cargoes traded at $848 and $849 per ton respectively [7]. - **PTA Market in East China**: The price of PTA in the East China market was 4,682 yuan/ton, up 18 yuan/ton.

1. Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industries are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Oils and Fats Industry - Palm oil: Affected by the significant decline in export data on the 25th, the Malaysian BMD crude palm oil futures retreated from their high levels. In the short - term, it is expected to seek support around 4,200 ringgit. Domestically, there may be an opportunity for a new round of upward - trending fluctuations. Overall, the view of near - term strength and long - term weakness is maintained, and attention should be paid to whether it can effectively stop falling in the range of 8,800 - 8,900 yuan. - Soybean oil: US soybeans are in a critical growth period. With good weather, a bumper harvest is still expected, and weak export data has dragged down the CBOT soybean and soybean oil prices. Domestically, due to a large arrival of soybeans, the inventory will remain high in the short - term. As it is the traditional off - season for demand, the factory's soybean oil inventory is still increasing. With the approaching of August and the expected increase in demand, the market has a certain price - supporting mentality, and the spot basis spread may fluctuate narrowly in the short - term and rise in the long - term [1]. Corn and Corn Starch Industry - In the short - term, the supply and demand of corn are both weak, with no strong unilateral driving force, and the futures market will remain volatile. Attention should be paid to subsequent policy auctions. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply of corn may be tight in the third quarter, supporting prices, while in the fourth quarter, the new - season output may be stable or slightly increase, and the supply - demand situation may be loose [2]. Sugar Industry - Internationally, there is no new driving force for the sugar market. The output in India and Thailand may increase due to strong monsoon rains, and it is speculated that India's bumper harvest may lead to another round of exports. It is expected that the bottom of the raw sugar price may appear in the short - term, but considering the increasing production pattern, a bearish view is maintained, and attention should be paid to the pressure at 17 - 17.5 cents per pound. Domestically, the import data in June continued to increase, but it is still at a relatively low level compared to the same period. The domestic market demand is weak, and the low inventory supports the spot price in Guangxi. However, the entry of processed sugar into the market has put pressure on prices. Considering the expected increase in imports, the domestic supply - demand situation will gradually ease, and a bearish view is maintained after a rebound. In the short - term, the sugar price is expected to remain in a narrow high - level range [7]. Cotton Industry - The pressure on the supply side is increasing marginally due to the new supply of relatively low - priced 2023/24 old cotton and the short - term stable and slightly decreasing spot basis. The weakening of the demand side is slowing down marginally as the operation rate of inland textile enterprises has dropped to a relatively low level, and the operation rate of Xinjiang textile enterprises remains strong. The finished product inventory has not significantly increased, but the downstream is still weak, and the operation rate of inland textile enterprises may still decline slightly in the future. In the short - term, the domestic cotton price may fluctuate within a range, and it will face pressure after the new - season cotton is listed [10]. Egg Industry - The inventory of laying hens remains high, and the supply of eggs is sufficient. Affected by high - temperature weather, the feed intake of laying hens has decreased, resulting in a decline in egg weight and laying rate. The supply of medium and small - sized eggs is sufficient, but the supply of large - sized eggs, especially high - quality large - sized eggs, is tight. The egg price has risen continuously recently, but the terminal market has not kept up, and the wholesale market's sales speed has slowed down. However, as it is the traditional peak season for egg demand, the demand may first decrease and then increase this week. It is expected that the egg price in some areas may decline by 0.10 - 0.20 yuan per catty next week. After a slight decline, traders may replenish their stocks at low prices, and the demand may recover. The spot price may still have some room for an upward movement, but the upward space for futures is limited due to production capacity [15]. Meal Industry - US soybeans continue to oscillate at the bottom. The current uncertainty mainly lies in the progress of trade relations, and the expectation of a bumper new - season harvest continues to suppress the upside space. Brazilian soybeans are relatively firm. Currently, the inventory of soybeans and soybean meal in China is continuously rising, and oil mills are urging提货 due to full storage. The basis is oscillating at a low level. The short - term supply is maintained by a high arrival volume of soybeans and high operation rates, but the continuity of soybean arrivals after October is uncertain, so the basis has limited room for decline. The Ministry of Agriculture's meeting proposed to optimize the pig production capacity and continue to promote the reduction of soybean meal substitution. Coupled with the import of Argentine soybean meal, the market sentiment is restricted, and the soybean meal price has declined. After the previous rise, the soybean meal price has returned to a low - level adjustment, and it is recommended to wait and see [19]. Pig Industry - The spot price of pigs is running weakly. The enthusiasm of secondary fattening has declined, the slaughter volume has increased slightly, and the group - farm slaughter has continued to recover. Coupled with weak market demand and a decrease in slaughter orders, the price is running weakly. Currently, the supply and demand are both weak. There may be a short - term boost at the end of the month and the beginning of the next month, but the group - farm slaughter is expected to continue to recover, and the large - sized pigs previously held by散户 also need to be slaughtered. In the short - term, the pig price is still not optimistic. It is expected that the spot price will maintain a bottom - oscillating pattern, and the near - term 09 contract is strongly suppressed. The far - term contract is greatly affected by policies, and blind short - selling is not recommended. However, when the futures market has offered good hedging profits, attention should also be paid to the impact of hedging funds [22]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of Each Report 2.1. Fats and Oils - Palm oil: Affected by production growth and export decline, the crude palm oil futures may face downward pressure after oscillating around the annual line, testing the support at 4,100 ringgit. Domestically, there is a risk of weakness for domestic palm oil futures, with attention on the support around 8,800 yuan [1]. - Soybean oil: In August, weather impacts on soybean crops increase. Although the latest US soybean good - rate is high, CBOT soybeans may fluctuate narrowly. Domestically, short - term basis quotes may be under pressure, but long - term support exists [1]. 2.2. Sugar - Brazilian sugar production in the second half of June was lower than expected. If the sugar - to - ethanol ratio is adjusted, production may not meet expectations. The short - term bottom of raw sugar prices may appear, but a bearish view is maintained considering the overall production increase. The domestic sugar market is expected to be marginally looser, with a bearish view after rebounds [3][4]. 2.3. Cotton - The demand side of the cotton industry is still weak, but the rising cotton price has led to a follow - up increase in yarn prices. The supply side faces some pressure from the sale of old cotton stocks, but the tight inventory situation is difficult to resolve before new cotton is listed. Short - term domestic cotton prices may oscillate at a high level, and face pressure after new cotton is listed [7]. 2.4. Eggs - The supply of eggs is sufficient, but high - temperature weather has reduced egg weight and laying rates, causing a shortage of large - sized eggs. With the start of the peak demand season, egg prices are expected to rise slightly this week and then stabilize [9]. 2.5. Corn - The corn auction on July 22 had a 27%成交 rate, and the market has digested the news. Supply is tightening due to factors like reduced willingness to sell and bad weather. Demand has some resilience. In the medium - term, supply is tight and demand is increasing, supporting prices. In the short - term, the market is stable, and the futures may oscillate strongly but with limited space [12][13]. 2.6. Meal - US soybeans are bottom - oscillating, and the expected August drought in the main production areas provides support. Brazilian soybeans are firm, but Chinese purchases of US soybeans may suppress Brazilian premiums. Currently, domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are rising, and the basis is low. After October, the continuity of soybean arrivals is uncertain, and a cautious bullish operation is recommended [16]. 2.7. Pigs - The spot price of pigs is oscillating. Secondary fattening enthusiasm has declined, and market demand is weak, so prices are weak. There is no basis for a sharp decline, but the upside is limited. The futures are affected by macro funds, and caution is needed when chasing up prices in the far - month contracts [19]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Fats and Oils - **Price Changes**: - Soybean oil: The spot price in Jiangsu decreased by 0.24% to 8,350 yuan/ton, and the futures price (Y2509) decreased by 0.20% to 8,092 yuan/ton [1]. - Palm oil: The spot price in Guangdong increased by 0.33% to 9,000 yuan/ton, and the futures price (P2509) increased by 0.18% to 8,926 yuan/ton [1]. - Rapeseed oil: The spot price in Jiangsu decreased by 0.52% to 9,650 yuan/ton, and the futures price (01509) decreased by 0.90% to 9,477 yuan/ton [1]. 3.2.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - Recently, under the influence of a bullish market sentiment and a slight relief in supply - demand pressure, both the futures and spot markets have strengthened in resonance. The short - term market should be treated as a volatile rebound [3] Group 3: Summary by Related Content Market Performance - Yesterday, the prices of coal and coke futures fluctuated and trended stronger. On the spot side, the first - round price increase of coke was 70 - 95 yuan/ton, and the mainstream steel mills have accepted a price increase of 50 - 55 yuan/ton, with a still existing price - increase expectation in the market. The price of coking coal also maintained a rebound trend [2] Fundamental Analysis - This week, coal mines in the main production areas of Shanxi continued the resumption of production, but the overall process was still slow. Downstream procurement enthusiasm was high, and the demand for replenishment and speculation was concentratedly released. Coal resources were in short supply, and most pre - sale orders were signed for more than half a month. The pressure of high supply and high inventory in coal mines was significantly reduced, and coal prices were likely to rise and difficult to fall in the short term. This week, the daily output of raw coal from 523 coking coal sample mines was 1.929 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 11,000 tons; the raw coal inventory was 6.153 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 276,000 tons; the clean coal inventory was 3.391 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 381,000 tons [2] Demand - side Situation - Recently, coking plants and steel mills have accelerated their raw material replenishment. The available days of coking coal inventory in factories have rebounded from a low level. The average daily hot metal output of steel mill blast furnaces has rebounded to 2.4244 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 26,300 tons [2]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in China, highlighting a shift from negative to positive growth in June, driven by various economic factors and policy measures [1][2]. Group 1: CPI Trends - In June, the CPI increased by 0.1% year-on-year, ending a four-month streak of negative growth, with the core CPI reaching a new high in nearly 14 months [1]. - The decline in CPI earlier in the year was significantly influenced by food prices, which fell by 0.9%, and energy prices, which decreased by 3.2%, collectively pulling down the CPI by approximately 0.4 percentage points [2]. Group 2: Factors Supporting Price Recovery - Several factors are expected to support a moderate recovery in prices in the second half of the year: 1. The economy is maintaining a stable and positive trend, with continued expansion in total demand, providing a macroeconomic foundation for price stability [3]. 2. Policies aimed at expanding domestic demand are expected to effectively stimulate consumption and support a rebound in consumer prices [3]. 3. Regulatory measures to address low-price disorder in the market will help improve market order and environment [4]. 4. The holiday effect is anticipated to promote stability or an increase in service-related prices [4]. 5. Technical factors indicate that the downward pressure from tail effects on both CPI and PPI will diminish in the second half of the year [4].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View of the Report - The recent improvement in market sentiment and the slight alleviation of coking coal supply - demand pressure on the fundamentals, along with the follow - up increase in the spot market, are expected to support the futures market to maintain a volatile and upward - biased trend. [3] Group 3: Summary According to the Content Market Trend - On July 11, 2025, the coking coal and coke futures prices continued to rise in a volatile manner, and the spot market followed suit. Some coke enterprises in certain regions planned the first - round price increase. Market sentiment has been warming up, and positive rumors have stimulated price increases, but the actual implementation of relevant policies and measures needs attention. [2] Fundamental Analysis of Coking Coal - The proportion of unsold lots in the coking coal spot auction market has significantly decreased, and coal prices in most regions have rebounded. This week, coal mines in the main production areas of Shanxi continued the resumption of production, but the overall process was relatively slow. The regional, phased, and structural supply - demand mismatch of coking coal has not been effectively alleviated. With the increase in macro - expectations this week, speculative demand has been released, and coking coal prices have continued to rise. The inventory at coal mine pits has continued to decline significantly, and there have been frequent cases of trucks waiting for coal. [2] - The daily average raw coal output of 523 coking coal mines was 191.8 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 3.8 million tons; the daily average cleaned coal output was 76.5 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 2.6 million tons and a year - on - year decrease of 1.4 million tons; the coking clean coal inventory at the mine end was 377.2 million tons, with a cumulative decrease of 122 million tons in the past three weeks and a year - on - year increase of 108.3 million tons. [2] Demand Side - Recently, coking plants and steel mills have accelerated their raw material replenishment, and the available days of coking coal inventory in the plants have rebounded from a low level. However, this week, the molten iron output dropped below 2.4 billion tons, and attention should be paid to the steel mill production restriction situation. [2] Import Side - Recently, the customs clearance of Mongolian coal has remained relatively low, and the port inventory has steadily decreased. From July 11th to 15th, the ports will be temporarily closed due to the Mongolian Naadam Festival. [2] Future Focus - Pay attention to changes in the blast furnace start - up rate of steel mills and the customs clearance situation of imported coal. [3]
